I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

Theo and Ayia had just finished cooking and were having dinner together.

They prepared homemade ramen with some side dishes.

The ramen warmed their bellies as they enjoyed their dinner together.

"Hmm, it's delicious!" Ayia exclaimed as she sipped the ramen broth.

"I think so too." Theo laughed.

They both were amazing chefs, and if they worked together, the food transformed into a masterpiece.

"Do you want something to drink?" Theo asked suddenly when he noticed that there was no drink on the dining table.

"Hm, maybe a wine?" Ayia suggested.

"I want some wine too." Theo chuckled.

"Sylph, can you bring the Okinawa Wine you bought last week?" Theo asked.

"Yes, master!" Sylph's lively voice was heard in the dining room.

Sylph was responsible for the grocery shopping in the house, and she was also responsible for maintaining the stock of drinks in the house, especially wines as Theo loved drinking wine.

Theo didn't even have to worry about paying for these things because Sylph had access to his bank account and she could use the money in it, but she was not allowed to buy expensive things, for that she had to ask Theo's permission.

For example, there were some wines that were too expensive so Sylph had to ask Theo's permission to buy them, and the Okinawa Wine was one of them.

One bottle of Okinawa Wine was priced at 5 thousand dollars, which was insanely expensive when we realize that it is just a bottle of wine.

Most people do not even earn that amount of money after a month of work, and that's why Sylph had to ask Theo's permission.

Theo loved Okinawa Wine, and he had money, so he did not mind spending so much money on a bottle of wine.

His date with Ayia was a special occasion, so he decided to drink the expensive wine with her.

"Okinawa Wine? I love that wine! Which year is it?" Ayia asked with shining eyes.

Ayia came from a rich family, so she had no problems recognizing the expensive branch of wine.

"Oh, it's a 2018 bottle. I could not find any bottle on sale older than that." Theo chuckled.

"That's true. It is indeed almost impossible to find an older bottle than that if you don't know anyone." Ayia commented with a look of realization.

The Okinawa Winery was one of the most prestigious and famous wines in the Sakura Abode Country.

This winery could be traced to 3 centuries ago when the country still reigned upon the seas of the world.

The winery became famous as it started to export wines to other countries with ships that constantly traveled on the oceans.

"I heard about an Okinawa wine bottle from 1898 that was auctioned some time ago for more than 2.4 million dollars." Theo commented with an excited face.

He had to admit that the thought of drinking such aged wine was tempting.

That's a bottle from more than a century ago!

It was no surprise that it was so sold for such an expensive price.

Just for everyone to situate themselves, on Earth, the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold was a ROMANéE-CONTI 1945 at the price of 558,000 dollars.

That's almost 2 million more.

But that was because the Okinawa Wine was much more prestigious, and also because it was an older bottle of wine.

It is said that there were collectors who had Okinawa Wines from the 18th century when the winery was expanding worldwide!

But no bottle of such caliber ever reached an auction, so it was just rumored.

"Oh, I heard about it too! My grandpa has an Okinawa Wine from 1908 that belonged to his father, my great-grandfather. He says that he won't drink ever." Ayia commented with a giggle.

"Really? Does Grandpa Takeo have such aged wine? That's a relic!" Theo exclaimed in excitement as he ate his ramen.

"Yeah, I saw it once." Ayia replied giggling.

A while later, Sylph brought the Okinawa Wine, and Theo filled his cup and Ayia's.

"So, you're leaving for Sakura City for the New Year, right?" Theo asked.

"Yeah, you may not know, but my family is an old and traditional family that values traditions. So, there is no way I can't miss the celebrations, or my mom and dad will skin me alive." Ayia said regretfully.

She had to admit that she was a little sad that she would not be able to spend the new year with Theo and the others. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"Really? Your mom and dad seemed so nice when I met them that day." Theo commented as he remembered the day that his restaurant opened its doors for the first time.

Theo already knew Grandpa Takeo from when he saved the old man's life, that day he also met Yamada Ezume, Ayia's father and Grandpa Takeo's son.

The two men thanked Theo for saving the old man's life, and they loved meeting Theo.

That's why they helped Theo contact a supply company for his restaurant, but Theo didn't know that the two men were Ayia's family until the restaurant opened.

Grandpa Takeo, Yamada Ezume, and Hazel Lionheart visited the restaurant that night, and they were impressed with Theo's work and expertise.

They didn't know yet that their little girl was working for Theo, but when they visited the kitchen, they saw the purple-haired girl working seriously in the kitchen.

Hazel, Ayia's mother, was particularly impressed with Theo's expertise and skill in getting her daughter to work for him.

The three of them had the best impression of Theo, so they treated him like family, and that's why Theo had such a great impression of them.

But what he didn't know was that the three amiable people he talked to that day came from powerful backgrounds.

So powerful that they could be considered one of the most powerful and richest people in the country.

And they were not known for their amiability.

They were only friends with people that they liked, and Theo was one of the lucky few that was treated like that.

Hazel was sure that day that her daughter was falling in love with Theo, but she didn't say anything.

Her daughter was free to choose the man she wanted to spend her life with, even though they came from the four most powerful families in the country, the Yamada Family preached that the family members were free as long as they did the minimum for the family.

And Ayia was free after she graduated from college.

That's why no one said anything about Ayia and Shizuka living in Elffire City.

Ayia and Shizuka lived in Elffire City for the past 6 months, and no one ever questioned them about that.

"That's because you don't know how strict they are." Ayia said with a wry smile as she remembered her parent's strict look.

"Well, I'm sure you will have fun there too." Theo laughed.

He never had real parents, but he still could imagine what it was like.

"Tell your parents and Grandpa Takeo that I sent a hug to them and that they should visit the restaurant when they have time." Theo added with a brilliant smile.

Ayia answered with a smile of her own when she heard that, she loved the fact that her parents knew Theo and that they liked him.

She wondered how would be their reaction if they knew that Theo and she were having a date.
